Research Statement(RS)是研究型硕士和博士申请的重要申请材料之一,这份材料主要概括了研究成果、当前工作以及未来工作的方向和潜力等内容。
RS应具备技术性,但也应让部门所有成员都能理解。因此,请牢记“大局”。最有力的RS需要满足可读性、引人注目且切合实际的研究议程,并且与部门的需求、设施和目标完美契合。
那么,留学文书中的Research Statement到底应该怎么写呢?小编今天就来为大家献上满满干货!
1
RS的正确格式:
RS的目的是向遴选委员会committee介绍你自己,该委员会可能由你所在领域内外的科学家组成,需要让他们对你的研究感到兴趣。
make it one or two pages, three at most,正文尽量控制在2页,有特殊要求的除外
use informative section headings and subheadings,正确使用小标题总结你的段落内容
use bullets,正确使用序号列表
make the margins a reasonable size,建议不要用太宽的页边距
2
RS务必包括的内容:
The main theme(s) and why it is important and what specific skills you use to attack the problem. 即你要研究的课题,该课题的重要性以及具体的问题
A few specific examples of problems you have already solved with success to build credibility and inform people outside your field about what you do. 通过展现你过去的研究工作来表明你具备解决新问题的能力
A discussion of the future direction of your research. This section should be really exciting to people both in and outside your field. 描述你未来的工作

一份好的RS应具备以下几点:
关于风格
Avoid jargon. Make sure that you describe your research in language that many people outside your specific subject area can understand. 通俗易懂
Write as clearly, concisely, and concretely as you can. 通俗易懂+1
Ask others to proofread it. Be sure there are no spelling errors. 可以借用大量的工具做proofreading
关于详细内容
Acknowledge the work of others.,正确的引用他人的工作
Put in background material to give the context/relevance/significance of your research.,一定要有参考和引用
Describe both current and planned (future) research.
Major problem(s) you want to focus on in your research. 务必清楚的列出你要解决的问题是什么
The problem’s relevance and significance to the field. 做好文献调研
Your specific goals for the next three to five years, including potential impact and outcomes. 根据时间线列出你未来的工作目标
A longer version (five–15 pages) can be brought to your interview. (Check with your advisor to see if this is necessary.) 部分学院、导师可能会要求更长的RS版本
